Have you ever been waiting in line and you can literally feel the person whom is behind you breathing down your neck? Well I have and I find it UNACCEPTABLE in the American culture!
Why do people feel the need to get so close? Are you going to spontaneously combust if you don't position yourself 2 nanometers away from my head? Or did I remember to take an shower that morning and now you're smelling my grapefruit shampoo? Or do you make it your life goal to make the people around you feel as uncomfortable as possible?
You see. People in America have this upside down culture where we need personal bubble of at least 1.5 feet radius around them. But you can find the most intimate details of our lives on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Etc....
But the thing is... We still want our PERSONAL SPACE!
Here is a chart for those who this is their first encounter of personal space. Learn it! Memorize it! Utilize it!
Well. Whatever insane preposterous theory you have spacial reasoning between you and me... change it! There are times when I want just "back that ass up" just to make you feel as uncomfortable as I am. Or I will purposely leave a huge gap between me and the person in front, just to see what you would do.
Ok. It might be unfair since some people do come from countries and cultures where personal space is not an issue. But you're in American now! Give me my damn personal bubble!
